FredFrin 5 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi, I'm running emby-server in docker on my linux server & accessing via the web-interface from other boxes. I've seen numerous mentions of a 'custom css' feature - but need a hand getting started: Looking inside the docker emby-server container I see numerous css files under /system but these are all minimised. I guess it is possible to copy & modify these and volume mount the edits over the existing files to achieve mods - but mention of 'css feature' makes me think there is another mechanism intended for this which I've not yet found. What is the intended method of adding / modifying css eg for the web-interface or android app? At the end of the day some files need to be stored somewhere & pulled in by the app - so Firebug / Chrome dev draw editing can only be for testing. Is there an editor in the web-interface I've missed? I've searched the forum & looked at the User Guide & not found a HOWTO Intro - sorry if I missed something ...

Solution arrbee99 1551 Posted January 28, 2020 Solution Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well, normally you go to the Dashboard, select Settings, scroll down and enter stuff in the Custom CSS window (and save). I just use Windows so am just assuming that applies to this Linux / Docker thingy also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It only works for browsers and something else I can't remember, not Android apps or Theater etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredFrin 5 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Got it thanks @@arrbee99 ! Didn't look there .... A quick test showed I could change the css, the app reloads automatically when 'save' is pressed, after which the changes are active. Since the changes are also present in other browsers, they must be transferred to the server. Looking at the server end I see the file /config/config/branding.xml has been modified. Since this location is docker volume mounted it persists across server re-starts. All makes sense and now I can even edit css directly on the server ... nice. I guess the android client is a native java thingy which won't use css for styling. I've read there is something called javafx which does - but I guess this is not in use & there is little point in a re-write 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredFrin 5 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Yes, playing with css worked quite nicely - see https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/81440-options-for-image-doc-display-on-detailed-audio-track-page/?p=839344 for what I was trying to achieve & results!
